DRS Technologies Announces Reorganization

PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - Apr 30, 2012) - DRS Technologies, Inc., a Finmeccanica Company, announced that it has realigned its operating structure to more effectively serve its military and commercial customers.

The company has been reorganized into three new operating Groups:

DRS Network and Imaging Systems (NIS) includes the DRS electro-optical and integrated sensor systems lines of business, and the development of networks that integrate such sensors in a broader tactical C4 environment. Terry Murphy will lead this organization as Group President.

As part of this reorganization, DRS has committed to enter into a new Proxy Agreement with the Defense Security Service in the near term.

In addition to the new Group structure, DRS will be consolidating corporate functions currently based in Parsippany, NJ and Rockville, MD to its Crystal City headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. The company anticipates completing this consolidation of corporate functions by the end of the year.
